Description

Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Beth Lo. She creates sculptures and vessels that reflect her Chinese American experience through the motif of children. In our interview, we talk about childhood as a crucial moment for imagination, turning to cute imagery of children at a time when "macho" aesthetics were considered superior and how raising a child influenced how this motif evolved. We also discuss whether there is such a thing as an "Asian American aesthetic" and the role of food as a motif in her practice.
